Smaller Printers Expect Robust 2011

According to the report, the optimism over sales was being tempered by concern over a number of issues, most notably the still shaky economy and rising costs. While nearly 61 percent of those surveyed expect sales to increase over the next six months, almost 46 percent also expect to have to raise prices during that period. Inconsistent sales was a major issue for some respondents, while others pointed to increasing costs for consumables and business expenses.
